Cirque Colors: The Live It Up Collection Part I (LE)

Hey everyone! I am super excited for today's post, I finally have my hands on one of my top wishlist Indies, Cirque Colors...how awesome! :D Before I began, I also have an incredible new and wanted to share you guys. I have a job...squeal!! It's been long overdue, but worth all the interviews I've been going through the years. Just in time for the holidays! ;)

If your wondering it is a teaching position for a pre-k class. I'm soo nervous & excited! Now for the nails! Like I said, today's post is from Cirque Colors new The Live It Up collection. The two polishes shown, are their limited edition glitter toppers. The net proceeds on these polishes will be donate for a familiar and amazing cause (more details end of post). So let's get to it:

Holo-Day Cheer (LE)- a perfect glitter topper for the upcoming holidays! I've seen many glitter toppers with this color combo, but all are very different. This has red, green, gold and silver glitters. I even loved how there were different shapes of glitters representing the holidays. The polish applied smoothly with enough glitters for application. This is one coat over EssieNo Place Like Chrome.

Of-course I had to do a Christmas theme nail art design. I was completely inspired by the glitters and wanted to create a Christmas tree using one of the stars as topper...so fitting. For the base I used two coats of Deborah Lippmann New York State of Mind andEssieNo Place Like Chrome.

8 Crazy Nights (LE)- one of my faves! I just love the various shades of blue and gold holographic glitter color combo. The formula is amazing, not at all thick or gloppy. The right amount of glitters for one coat application. For this, I applied one coatof Cirque Colors Memento Mori and one coatof 8 Crazy Nights. I did the sponge glitter technique for the gradient, sealed with top coat.

Couldn't help to create a mosaic type of design over the glitters. Perfectly matched with Essie Good as Gold and Strut your Stuff. I loved how this look, I just couldn't stop looking at them!

I can't even explain how amazing the formula is, not at all gloppy or thick like some glitter toppers! There's enough glitters to apply in just one coat. They are now available for purchase on theirsite here for $13.00 each, well worthespeciallyfor a cause. Stay tune for the rest! ~_^

When you do purchase these limited edition toppers,20% of net proceeds from the sale of Holo-Day Cheer & 8 Crazy Nights will be donated to City Harvest: A food rescue organization dedicated to helping feed the nearly 1.5 million New Yorkers facing hunger.
